Aside from rice & beans, what are some other cheap ways to stretch your food budget, especially with proteins?

Is liver still cheap? I see it so rarely but it's never too much cheaper than getting a pack of chicken thighs or pork shoulder even though the portion size is smaller.

The truth is that eggs is the cheapest food on earth, that's why I'm the 60s they shilled so hard about (((cholesterol))) because the truth is that you can get by on $0.50/dozen eggs and maybe a multivitamin and that's it. Use the savings to build wealth and you can BTFO the government

Sardine salad is good. I usually prefer to use my tuna for a creamy tuna pasta. There are several ways to make it but I primarily use cream of mushroom soup.

you can probably get beef heart or liver or chicken gizzards/livers for next to nothing. Beef heart tastes just like steak if done right
